Details
Join us every Thursday this spring & summer in Golden, Colorado for community climb nights! We will be sampling some of Golden’s rock climbing and top-roping a wide variety of styles and grades.
We strive to create a non-judgmental space where everyone can be themselves and thus try hard and have fun! From first-timers to the advanced, this is a great way to connect with other local climbers.
All sessions will be held in Golden, Colorado on Thursday nights from 5:30-7:30PM.
Various locations will include Clear Creek Canyon, North Table Mountain, and Lookout Mountain.
Your guides will be Dan Hunter (AMGA Rock Guide) and/or Bentley Newton (AMGA Single Pitch Instructor).
